Complementing the Information Security Officer service introduced in 2013, nClose's Security Consulting service offers an end-to-end information security solution that frees your business from unnecessary distraction, allowing you to focus on core operational activities.
With a generalist approach, nClose strives to work alongside your business in order to understand and address its unique risk and security requirements. Whereas many security firms offer similar services, only nClose is able to analyse, diagnose, prescribe a solution, implement it and provide ongoing support, upgrades and maintenance.
Led by experience, focused on practical solutions
Under the guidance of Andrew Meyer, Principal Consultant, nClose's interest is in partnership and relationship building - as opposed to simply selling solutions that aren't always suited to the context of your business. Meyer says nClose's focus on gaining a holistic understanding of its customers' businesses results in practical outcomes that really work.
With extensive experience gained locally and abroad, Meyer notes that information security is seldom perfect. "There are always peculiarities that arise and need to be dealt with. No security provider can guarantee a water-tight solution, but nClose partners with its clients to understand the environment in which they operate. Together, we are then able to navigate the challenges and risks that are faced in a way that allows your business to thrive by getting on with day-to-day functions."
Having worked in multinational financial institutions as well as JSE listed retailers, Meyer is well versed in global best practice. During his time in the industry, he has developed information security strategies, implemented identity and access governance solutions, and managed security installations in some extremely challenging environments.
"Regardless of the size or complexity of a company's requirements, the fundamentals of information security remain unchanged, and we stay true to these at nClose," he says.
Augmenting your security to make it better
Martin Potgieter, nClose Director, notes there is a tendency in the security industry to offer solutions that are exclusive and require existing security to be replaced completely. nClose is different in that it understands that different security components and solutions can integrate in order to work together.
"At nClose, we don't aim to dominate your security installations. We look for ways in which we can augment and enhance your solution to meet your particular needs," Potgieter says. "We want to help you make your security better, embed it in your company's culture and allow for agility that lets your business's security approach change and adapt as the world of networking changes around it."
With proven experience and a number of customers already making use of nClose's Security Consulting service, the team's focus falls clearly on suitable, practical and sustainable security management at all levels.
